- numeral 51 is an oscillation circuit which generates a time standard signal.
- a dividing circuit 52 is composed of multi-stages of flip-flops and divides until a one second signal is obtained.
- a pulse combining circuit 53 combines the divided signals to obtain a detection pulse for detection, a correction drive and a normal drive pulse signal having a time width for normal driving from the outputs of said flip-flops of said. Further, a signal is generated which is preferable to operate the drive circuit 54 and the detection circuit 56.
- Said drive circuit 54 receives a normal drive pulse signal from said pulse combining circuit 53, and thereby drives a stepping motor 55.
- Said detection circuit 56 receives a detection pulse from said pulse combining circuit 53 and detects a rotation condition and non-rotation of the stepping motor 55, whereby a signal representative of the detected condition is applied to the pulse combining circuit 53.
- a rotor of the stepping motor 55 is rotated in the case of a low load by applying said normal drive pulse, and is not rotated in the case of a high load. Therefore one is able to detect a rotation and non-rotation of rotor by applying detection signal to the detection circuit 54 which senses a difference of inductance in the rotation and non-rotation of the rotor.
- Said pulse combining circuit 53 receives a signal from said detection circuit 56, and it is necessary to apply a correction drive pulse to the drive circuit 54 in case of non-rotation of the rotor.
- Said correction drive pulse has a longer pulse width than the normal pulse, therefore the torque is very high, and it is able to drive the stepping motor in a high load condition.
- the principle of the rotation of a stepping motor for use in the electronic watch and rotation and non-rotation detection are as follows:
- numeral 1 shows a stator constructed in one formed body having a magnetic path or circuit 17a, 17b which is easily saturable.
- the stator is magnetically engaged with a magnetic core with the coil 7.
- a notch 18a, 18b is provided with the stator.
- FIG. 4 the condition is shown in which electric current has just been applied to the coil 7, the rotor 6 remains stationary at the position of approximately 90 degrees in angle between the notch 18a, 18b and the magnetic poles of the rotor.
- N is number of turns of the coil 7: Rm is magnetic resistance.
- the detection of of the rotation or non-rotation of the rotor 6 for use in the electronic wrist watch is detected as the difference of the time constant of the circuit consisting of the resistor and coil connected in series.
- the reason for producing the difference of the time constants will now be explained hereinafter.
- FIG. 5 shows a magnetic field at the time of the current flowing through the coil 7.
- the rotor 6 is in the position which is rotatable against the magnetic poles.
- the magnetic flux 20 is the one which is derived from the rotor 6.
- the magnetic flux which intersects the coil 7 also exists practically, however, this is neglected here.
- the magnetic fluxes 20a and 20b are shown as being derived from the saturable portions 17a, 17b of the stator 1 and they are directed in the arrow mark.
- the saturable portion 17a, 17b are in most cases, not in the saturated condition yet. In this condition, the current is flowing in the direction of the arrow mark of the coil 7 so as to rotate the rotor 6 clockwise.
- FIG. 7 shows the waveform of the current flowing through the coil, as numeral 22.
- FIG. 6 shows the condition of the magnetic flux in which the current is flowing through the coil 7 at the time when the rotor 6 can not be rotated for some reasons and is returned to the original point.
- the current in order to rotate the rotor 6, the current must be flowing in the coil 7 in the opposite direction against arrow mark, i.e., in the same direction as that as shown in FIG. 5.
- this condition occurs whenever the rotor 6 can not be rotated. Since the rotor 6 can not be rotated in this case, the direction of the magnetic flux produces the one shown in FIG. 5.
- the direction of the magnetic fluxes is 21a and 21b.
- FIG. 7 shows this condition as numeral 23.
- the time interval "D" before the portions 17a, 17b of the stator 1 saturate in FIG. 7, was 1 msec, under the condition that the diameter of the coil is 0.23 mm, the number of turns is 10,000, the coil series resistance is 3 K ⁇ , the diameter of the rotor is 1.3 mm and the minimum width of the saturable portion is 0.1 mm.
- the inductance of the coil is small when the rotor 6 is rotating within the range of "C" in FIG. 7 while it is large at the time of non-rotation.
